take to the streets and cities across the country to condemn the far right a fee party following reports of a secret mess. deportation meet the eye mike, local, welcome. the government benjamin netanyahu is facing mounting pressure within is really mid the ongoing conflict in gaza and increasingly dire humanitarian situation. there. this was the scene until the late saturday were thousands of people gathered to protest against the country's leadership. they are calling for new elections. it's now more than 3 months since israel long states counter offensive and gaza after the unprecedented cross border attacked by him oss on october 7th. a mazda is classified as a terrorist organization by multiple countries. the earlier i spoke to dw

corresponded rebecca ritter's in jerusalem, who told me more about what the demonstrators are demanding. we so multiple protests across the country last night that one in tel aviv that you speak called but it's certainly the largest of the ones that we saw yesterday. and it's something we've been saying every week since the beginning of this conflict, people coming out the to demand a largely different strategy to the way that the hostage situation is being dealt with. and that's something those calls going louder and louder. the longer people, these hostages remain inside gauze, the families becoming increasingly anxious and increasingly angry towards the government and with definite leasing calls for fresh elections calls for the government to stand down. we saw other protests in all the cities, such as high for even in the see the rear, which is where the prime minister benjamin netanyahu has a private residence or people outside his house campaigning,

protesting for him to stand down. people increasingly across israel, frustrated with the way that he's been handling this many saying that he's doing everything he can to save his own political bacon. and he's not taking what they say is the most important thing. of course the hostages and trying to get the hostages alvin gone. so he's not taking that seriously enough. we're also seeing other protests we so protested, calling to him to stand down and see a government protest, but these are in no by no means anti war protests. there is still a great deal of support for the war. aims of war and of dismantling, and destroying him as completely making sure they are no longer a threat to his right society. and his riley's, but the way in which that benjamin netanyahu is carrying these items out is something that people are becoming increasingly angry about. meanwhile, iran is threatening retaliation following a suspect. it is really here strike in syria. the attack which flattened the

building in the capital, damascus killed 5 members of k runs. parent military revolutionary guard runs president accuses israel of spreading instability in the region and says to the attack will not be left quote on answer. israel has not claimed responsibility, but the strike comes joseph days after wrong struck what it called and is released by headquarters in northern iraq. the u. s. military says several troops were injured in another attack on an air base in west and new rock used by its forces. us central command says iran, back the militants of launch multiple missiles and rockets. at the l. a side airbags a us led coalition facility. it says most of the projectiles were interest shifted, but some struck the facility. u. s. troops stationed in syria and iraq have faced dozens of attacks by table and allied fighters since the start of the israel,

him us war in october. as i asked the middle east expert christian hilbert, if this strikes in syria and iraq or signaling the start of a wider regional conflict, as many have feared. well actually we are seeing that this war and gaza has been spinning over as it is an old conflict that has been going on for the case between is what you ended so called excess of resistance on one side and iran. and it's so cold, excess of resistance on one side and is red and the you as on the other side. so what has happened after october 7th, is that as how must considers itself to be a member of this excess of resistance. every other militia would jump in, trying to help and step up pressure and is why you. so this is what has been happening in southern they've been known by his paula. we have seen this with a who see emily says that are attacking naval ships in the red sea. and we have been seeing this looking at the uranium back, the leases and iraq and syria that have been attacking u. s. troops in north,

on iraq and ne, syria, and has tried to attack is what really targets. so everybody's trying to portray his it's himself as a strong supporter of the pedestal and calls when at the same time they are trying to avoid the food loan or it's more an exchange of fire for training one solve as being determined without getting into a direct direct confrontation between is right and wrong, or even bid us at the wrong interest. so of us can have some levels of understanding your nuance. let's focus on syria for a moment. why are members of the around in the miller revolutionary guard in syria? in the 1st place, it is a longstanding ally of the sewing machine, and we should not forget that it was a ring and release us on the ground that together with the russian air force helped to save beside the thought. i mean, they kept him in power,

so yvonne use the last few years to build up the military presence in syria, which is something that is really considered us to be in existence. so french, because syria is where a us having a border, the goal on heights, the goal on heights occupied by a swain. so syria is where we are in a war in a state of florida officially. so this a flight is what it has continuously attacked the rain and talk, it's inside syria, which we're usually military facilities. the airport of the mass close to the airport in a level it's transportation because all the weapons that are going to is below and they've been on, has to cross to syria. but this attack that we've seen in the middle of the most coast is a definite, the escalation because it is in the middle of a neighborhood within the mosque was the presidential palaces close by. so it is another step of escalating this war run, blames israel for the attack. how likely is that as easily it has

a long history of targeted killings in the region. they has been stepping up this strategy during the last few months as they have killed his bullet. come on those how much come on just ended on end and syria. so i don't think anybody has a down, although the is really leadership. never officially claims responsibility to not put the allies in the west into trouble, but i think nobody has adult and is what he wants to send to clear message that every hamas and hezbollah commander or a new revolution, the god general is not safe wherever they are and they cannot get hold on the helm of leadership within gaza. so the frank trying maybe to send a strong message outside to go off to these kinds of leaders in the neighboring countries. chris and no doubt this is a delicate, potentially dangerous dynamic. what's likely to happen next, are you wrong, has to retaliate because it's the message of saving face basically internally and exits on them. so they will do this in directly as we have seen before. the might

be attacks from syrians followed by uranium release us towards its way from the gold on heights. that might be another a text and we have just seen one on us troops in north. i'm you wrong and all these syria which has been happening continuously. there might be direct beside a text from the range of swords against is why india and us targets. but whole, these attacks has been very limited in the image. so it's more symbolic. meaning it's a sending of messages saying that we are ready to react. we are able to react, in case you want to escalate any further. but i don't see a strong interest in either by your von. nobody's. why you over you asked to get into a full blown regional at this time. the only group that would be interested come us, but we have seen at the same time that all these attacks limited so that they will not cause a major or at least direct confrontation who wants to build up its nuclear potential

. before getting into this direct confrontation and they have not finished so far, that's the middle east expert christian help. there are go many, many thanks for your insights. thanks to you. a brief look at some more news making global headlines. condos. the president felix chief security has been sworn in for a 2nd term after chaotic and contested elections. she's a katie and his party won the vote by last wide, but polling was more by fraud allegations and logistical disruptions. opponents calls for descent, went mostly on heated, amid a mass deployment of security forces. the kindergarteners have opened in subway stations in the ukrainian city of hawkins, allowing children to return to the classroom for the 1st time since rushes invasion . almost 2 years ago, facilities opened in 5 stations accommodating up to a 1000 children. the subway has regularly been used as a shelter and mid russian air strikes. hundreds of thousands of people across
